1 Samuel 4:16-18
Christian Standard Bible
16 The man said to Eli, “I’m the one who came from the battle.[a] I fled from there today.”
“What happened, my son?” (A) Eli asked.
17 The messenger answered, “Israel has fled from the Philistines, and also there was a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are both dead, and the ark of God has been captured.” 18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell backward off the chair by the city gate,(B) and since he was old and heavy, his neck broke and he died. Eli had judged Israel forty years.
